Page:Beautiful old song, entitled, The Duke of Gordon's three daughters.pdf/2

 

THE Duke of Gordon had three daughters,

Elizabeth, Margaret, and Jean.

They would not stay in bonny Castle-Gordon,

but they went to bonny Aberdeen.

They had not been in bonny Aberdeen

a twelvemonth and a day,

Till Jean fell in love with Captain Ogilvie,

and from him she would not stay,

Word came to the Duke of Gordon

in the chamber where he lay

How lady Jean fell in love with a Captain,

and from him she would not stay.

Go saddle to me the black horse, he cry'd,

my servant shall side on the grey;

And I will go to bonny Aberdeen,

forthwith to bring her away.

They were not a mile from Aberdeen,

a mile but only one,
